Democratic Executive. Commit

THOMAS C0URTLAND MANNING.

The sad news of the death of this
honorable and high-toned gentleman
and learned jurist and scholar, was re-
ceived here Tuesday last by telegram
from New York City, where he died
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on the
18th instant.
Judge Manning was born at Eden
ton, N. c., and at the time of bis de-
mise was sixty years Of age. In 1855
he came to Louisiana and settled at
Alexandria, where he....commenced the
practice of law, since which time he
has ever resided here with his family,
with the exception of the time when
be served as Chief Justice and Asso-
ciate Justice, and lately as Minister to
Mexico. For a short time Judge
Manning acted as Gov. Moore's pri-
vate secretary, and afterwards was Ad-
jutant General of the State. He vol.
unteered in one Of the early Rapides
companies but duties at home kept
him from service in the field. Judge
Manning served as one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court under the Ia
mented Gov. III. w. Allen.
A writer in the Shreveport Times
concerning Judge Manning's death,
says
Judge Manning had many accomplish
ments, which we have no space to dwell
upon. He was well-read lawyer, and
was most snowy advocate. His fine
person, his knowledge Of law, varied
reading and sOnOrOus voice, all cOnspired
to lend charm to his Oratory which was
not easy to resist. In general literature
and SCIENCE he was deeply read. 1t was
his custom since the war to bny every
literary or scientific work on important
questions, that emanated from the press,
often sending to Europe for them, so as to
get them in advance of their publication
in America.
From the N. 0. Daily Neaos we take
the following..tribute;:
Manning is dead The bright mind
that flashed like q meteor athwart our
horizon, has disappeared. The learned
jurist, whose judicial philosophy has en-
riched our Jurisprudence and shed flood
of light upon legal obscurity, has passed
away. He had character above the
reach of detraction, and history that de-
fed SANDER. Identified with every move
ment, the tendency of which was the
emancipation and elevation of our poo
pie, with mental capacity that lowered
like Sanl above Israel, he stood out in
bold relief, "grand, gloomy and pecu-
liar" He was imperviOns to corruption
and beyond the reach of brides. COnsti-
tuted thus his death at this time renders
his loss double calamity. While he has
left cOmpatri0ts equal to the task of re-
generating our State, it would have been
a satisfaction to have the great Manning
present to assist and witness our re-
Nuisance.
He is dead, and he will be missed
in Rapides. His many friends mourn
his untimely demise. TO his grief
stricken wife and daughters we ex-
tend our sympathies. Requiescat in
pace.
